Fuel Efficiency - Miles per Gallon to Kilometer per Liter

Introduction to Fuel Efficiency Conversion

This tool calculates the fuel efficiency of a vehicle in kilometers per liter (km/L) given its efficiency in miles per gallon (MPG). It is useful for comparing fuel efficiency in countries that use different measurements.

Parameter usage:

• milesPerGallon= fuel efficiency in miles per gallon

Example valid values:

• milesPerGallon= 35
• milesPerGallon= 60

Output:

• km_per_liter= fuel efficiency in kilometers per liter

Data validation

The miles per gallon value must be a number and cannot be negative, reflecting real-world usage.

Summary

Converts MPG to KM/L, facilitating international fuel efficiency comparisons. The conversion factor used is 0.425144, derived from the ratio of miles to kilometers (1 mile = 1.60934 km) and liters to gallons (1 gallon = 3.78541 liters).
